Plaintiff : USN, Subsim Bureau of Investigation. US Govt.
Defendant: LCDR Eugene D. Williams, USN, USS Grenadier

This is a preliminary hearing to discuss possible charges of:

Failure to attack the enemy in order to progress career.
Dereliction of duty.
Falsifying reports, logs.
Failure to provide medical care to crew.
Failure to follow commands and orders.
Wantonly shooting and killing 21 protected wading birds.

The intentions of this court are to prove that LCDR Eugene D. Williams was given orders to intercept and attack IJN TF, but left area of patrol without orders and proceeded to Truk Harbor, infiltrated harbor, and made an approach on stationary TF in harbor. That is his approach LCDR Eugene D. Williams proceeded into 65 ft of water to perform attack, claiming to sink a Yamato BB, HIryu Carrier and Heavy Cruiser. This court will prove that LCDR Eugene D. Williams in fact did not sink any ships, except a possible Sampan. This court will prove that LCDR Eugene D. Williams falsified reports and patrol logs to promote is claims and seek false promotion. This court will prove beyond doubt that LCDR Eugene D. Williams put sub and crew at unnecessary risk in attacking a neutral Sampan posing no threat, causing damage to submarine and serious injury to several crew members. This court will further prove that LCDR Eugene D. Williams became unable to command, blaming his failures on crew, a glitzy game and even voodoo. This court will also prove that LCDR Eugene D. Williams disobeyed direct orders from Admiral Armistead. Further we will prove that he placed blame and accused the Admiral's staff of aiding the enemy without evidence or cause.

Let it be known, that this is a hearing, that any and all evidence found can lead to further prosecution, including court martial and dismissal from the Subsim Navy. Be in known all Subsim rules are in place.

Let the record show that LCDR Eugene D. Williams refused plea deal offered, refused military counsel and will be defending himself.

At the conclusion of this hearing, the court and general membership of Subsim will make recommendations regarding LCDR Eugene D. Williams fitness to command.
